ABSTRACT

In the past, professionals in mental health and in family planning have gone their separate ways; but this is

beginning to change. A cooperative group on transnational research in family planning has been organized to bring

psychosocial, demographic, and public health apsects of family planning and fertility-related behavior into closer

perspective. Mental health professionals, demographers, and public health-oriented physicians from Central and

Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the United States met in Budapest in 1969 and in Geneva in 1970 to discuss

certain projects; as a result of the meetings, several joint research studies were initiated. In 1971, a scientific group

on "Mental Health and Family Planning" will be convened by the World Health Organization. (PubHealth.info
